# A Rare Case of Single-Rooted Maxillary First Molar With Type II Canal Configuration

## TL;DR

This paper describes a rare case of a maxillary first molar with a single root and a complex canal structure, successfully treated using advanced imaging and microscopy.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare clinical case and demonstrates the utility of CBCT and DOM in managing unusual root canal morphology.

## Key findings

- A single-rooted maxillary first molar with Vertucci’s type II canal configuration was successfully treated.
- CBCT and DOM were critical for diagnosing and managing the atypical canal morphology.
- The case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in endodontic treatment planning.

## Abstract

The morphological variations in roots and root canals vary greatly in multi-rooted teeth making it a challenge for accurate diagnosis and effective endodontic therapy. In addition to using technology appropriately, this article highlights how important it is to have a complete understanding of root canal morphology. With the assistance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and a dental operating microscope (DOM), successful endodontic treatment was performed on a single-rooted maxillary first molar with Vertucci’s type II canal configuration. CBCT and DOM proved to be valuable tools for the effective diagnosis and management of this atypical morphology.
